On my d90, under M (manual mode or aperture priority), the aperture on the readout goes beyond the actual aperture range; i.e. f3.5 - 5.6; readings will show aperture range of 5 - 29 when I scroll with the sub command dial; sometimes when i remove the battery it returns to normal; how can i fix this problem permanently?

Answers :

There is NOT a problem. The f3.5-5.6 indicates the maximum aperture in the zoom range. At 18mm the maximum aperture is f3.5, at 105mm it's f5.6. The minimum aperture ranges from f22 to f38.\012\012\012

So, at 18mm, the aperture can range from f3.5 to f22. At 105mm, the aperture can range from f5.6 to f38. At intermediate focal lengths the aperture range is somewhere between the two extremes.

My lightly used nikon coolpix s570 has developed a power issue. Meaning that with a fully charged battery, the camera won't turn on. sometimes removing and reinserting the battery will get it to turn on. and sometimes the camera will power up normally, the problem is intermittent. any ideas? I keep the camera clean and store it in a dry place.

If you have a second battery, fully charge it and try it. If you do not have a second battery, it make either be a defective battery or a battery that is not properly charging. Try powering on the camera until you get it powered up, either by reinser ...

Low Battery When turning the camera on, the screen often says "Low Battery", even if the batteries are brand new. The problems seems to last a few hours, then it turns on as normal. I have tried cleaning the contacts and the battery tubes, but nothing obvious seems to cause it, or solve it. Sometimes, it cuts out to "Low Battery" in the middle of taking photos, when the charge indicator on the screen has just been at full. Someone else asked this question on-line, but had no replies, and a frien

Aperture Setting My Nikon D3 subcommand dial has suddenly stpped setting apertures in both Manual and Aperture priority modes. I have cleaned the lens contacts, removed the battery and re-inserted, all to no avail. Any solutions?

Command dial on a friend's Fuji Finepix S9000 is NOT functioning. Can't control aperture, shutter speed, flash settings, etc. Can it be opened and fixed (he has no warranty, thus no problem with opening it). Is there a special setting or way of turning or pressing buttons that he is doing wrong? It says to press (and hold?) a button then twist the dial, but no change is made as far as I can see. I have tried enless things and have much experience (though I'd be a fool not to ask others). A

Samsung L83T fully charged but beeps 3 times and switches off? The screen doesn't come on at all, and the low battery message does not show. Shop said it could be a circuit problem & not economically viable? What do you think? The battery is charging normally and the lead light goes green. I have removed the replaced the card. I can take pictures off the card so it seems ok. Is it time for a new one?.

I've had my camera for about 3 years now and have never had any problems until a couple of weeks ago. When I turned the camera on, it forced me to reset date/time and would occasionally show aperture 00 and not take a picture. Turning the camera off and then on again, or removing and replacing the battery temporarily took care of the problem. Now I am getting the ERR 01 and can not take pics at all, regardless of which lens I use or whether I am using the IS option. I've tried cleaning the c

Sometimes my D700 will not power up and the LCD is totally blank. After sitting stationary for a couple days, it will operate normally. The problem is intermittent. This has happened twice this past and I cannot trust it to be there when needed. Changed the battery, lens, and CF card but nothing works when it is in this dormant state. Any ideas? loose connection? humidity problems?

Lcd screen The Lcd screen on my olympus sp 500 uz comes on when I turn on the camera but the image is not normal. What I see is a color negative image. All the colors are reversed.
I tried removing the batteries and card and reinstalling 12 hours later. No good, same problem.

That is an effect that can be had by internal software in the camera, like my Sony. Just get in there and turn off "negative" Youll probably see Sepia, solarize, B/W and negative as other choices. ...

Canon SD900 selection options not responsive.
The selector wheel, Function Set button and menu selector only work from time to time. Even if pressing the ring brings up info to the LCD, nothing can be changed because the Function Button and the Menu button are not active. This is a random problem. Sometime, I can bring all functions back to life by removing and re-inserting the battery and restarting.

Sounds like the board has become damp and possibly corroded in certain parts this causing the random effect with the buttons their isnt much you can do unless you can remove the case yourself and give it a good clean but doing this is extremely diffi ...

Sony DSC-S700 when turned on sometimes the screen is blurry and pink toned with blurry grey lines running accross the screen. Photos turn out the same. Happens intermittently. Have changed batteries, checked to ensure the dial on the top was centered on Auto Adjustment setting. Doesn't matter what setting display looks the same: pink and blurry with the lines. Checked all the settings in the menu. Not sure why it does this...worried it may be a board problem.

In M,A and S modes the shutter and aperture values will disappear and only return after a two button reset.I can adjust the aperture in A mode with the command dial.The shutter speed is adjustable in M mode with the command dial.

In Manual mode only the front dial can be used to set the aperture. That is probably In Aperture mode you can only choose the the Aperture. Shutter speed is automatically chosen. That is why the shutter speed value will disappear.In Shutt ...

My Kodak Easyshare Z1275 has short battery life. sometimes even newly charged 2600 MaH batteries cause problems. Powers up, lens extends, opens screen to set time and date then powers down. Sometimes i can take a picture or two before it powers down. This is a known problem to Kodak but they want $90 to repair it. Can anyone tell me how to repair it myself. If I can't I will throw it away and use my Cannon exclusively.

Wait, do you have Li Ion batteries or Ni MH?\015\012\015\012I think that Kodak recommends Li Ion batteries which have a higher voltage on them.\015\012\015\012I got some generic Li ion battery packs off of Amazon.com, with bet ...

Battery Problem I have trouble with apparent battery failure due to bad contacts on the slide-out tray thingie that holds the batterys. Jamming it in several times when I change batteries sometimes helps, but often the camera will stop working in the middle of a shoot and indicate the battery is discharged. A quick in-and-out a couple of times of the thingie restores full battery power, but by then I've probably missed my picture. Anyone else have this problem? Other than that (and piss-poor aut

Every once in awhile, our D90 hangs up and won't autofocus and take pictures. An error message is displayed but can be rectified by removing and putting back in the battery. The battery display usually says it's O.K (at least half full). Is this a battery problem or battery connection problem?

First, clean the battery contacts in the camera with a cotton swab lightly dampened with rubbing alcohol. Then, do the same with the contacts on the camera body and lens where they meet. ...

Battery Problem My 18-month-old Canon A70 is giving "change the battery pack" message and turning off constantly, even though I have fully charged three different sets of new rechargeable batteries and rotate them as soon as the message comes on. Sometimes with this message I pull out one charged set and put the same back in, and it works fine for quite awhile, then repeats later. I imagine this is a problem in the camera battery power circuit or something. Never happens when plugged into the co

Each time I remove the battery from my Nikon CoolPix 4300, the clock returns to a default of 2002 (in the LCD window the date shows as 000000.

I left the battery in the camera over night to see if the clock battery would take a charge and maintain the date and time the next time I removed the battery. No such luck. It returns to default.

No power the camera stopped operating, and when freshly charged battery was installed it still had did not turn on. When putting the battery in, noticed that the battery & charger have 4 contact slots/posts - but the camera has only 3 contact posts. Is that normal, or could 1 of them broken off? If normal, what else could be the problem? Absolutely love the camera & want to have it fixed. Please help. Phil
